Almost Midsommar!

This is Sirius, the "new" cat of our friend Carola. He is extremely handsome and is a big smoocher! :)

It's been a wonderful day, again!

A wonderful wednesday.

It started kinda late, 10 am.

We continued to "clean up" around the buildings of the farm.

It will take some more weeks until the place looks like we want it to.

Our little loader, the Avant, is a big helper. It helps to move practically everything up to around 250 Kilos. And it pulls the harrow that makes the arena ridable again. :))

I am finally getting it, slowly...

It cannot be done in one day, not in two, not in 3 weeks...

And it's not really about getting it done, it's the journey, it's the process, not the progress that matters.

It's the fun that you have while doing things.

FUN.

FUN.

FUN!

The horses are really settling in now. They know every paddock now and we have a nice routine. It's been warm lately and the wind is always welcome to keep them cool.

Midas doesn't like the heat and loves the rain, Indigo loves the sun and hates the rain.

Those two horses are so different, in every way.

And they are best friends.

Friday is MIDSOMMAR, the swedish people celebrate the Midsummer Night BIG BIG BIG.

Midsommar is the second important holiday after Christmas.

Sweden celebrates the longest day of the year with lots of marinated herring and drinking.

Midsummer Eve always falls on the third Friday in June so people can enjoy a long weekend, the kids have started their summer vacation one week ago.

Celebrations often continue long into Midsommar Day, when people are mainly recovering from the "festivities" of the previous night.

We will be inducted in this wonderful swedish tradition by our Friends in Olseröd.

:))

I don't know if there will be fonfires around here, that is probably different from region to region.

We'll find out, that's for sure.

Good night everyone!
